  • Patent number: 9669695
    Abstract: An assembly mount for the movable fastening of a motor vehicle assembly (such as an engine) having a housing which is connectable to a motor vehicle body, a fastening bolt which is connectable to the motor vehicle assembly and which projects into the housing via a housing opening, a load-bearing spring which is connected to the housing and to the fastening bolt, wherein the load-bearing spring permits at least a relative movement of the fastening bolt in an opening plane of the housing opening within the housing opening, and a compensation element which is movable relative to the housing and relative to the fastening bolt and which serves for the variation of a movement clearance of the fastening bolt in the housing opening in the opening plane.

  • Patent number: 8104595
    Abstract: A hydraulic control unit is set up to hydraulically actuate a starting clutch of a motor vehicle and gear selectors of a transmission of the motor vehicle by use of hydraulic valves which are integrated in the hydraulic control unit and which have in each case at least one control element. The hydraulic control unit is characterized in that the integrated hydraulic valves are aligned in the hydraulic control unit in such a way that a movement direction of a vibratory element of a hydraulic valve which controls only the starting clutch differs from the movement direction of vibratory elements of the other hydraulic valves, and is aligned to a lesser extent with the longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20060017255
    Abstract: A control arm for a motor vehicle, such as a control arm for a front axle in a McPherson construction, has an inside bearing for connecting the control arm with a vehicle body, a wheel suspension bearing for connecting a wheel, and a strut bearing, which is constructed as a hydraulically damped bearing. In order to reduce bothersome torsional steering wheel vibrations, the inside body-side bearing of the control arm has a very stiff construction while the bearing used for the support has a soft construction and is hydraulically damped.
